I don't see that anyone has mentioned Rod Argent, as yet. As their keyboardist/organist he really was a major part of their sound, and was the core of the later band that was just named his last name; Argent. Great song, another interesting response.
I've heard that version probably ever since it was released, but I first misread your comment thinking it said Sinatra. I thought, whoa, I gotta check out Frank's version.
I've said it before,, but i feel it's more than worth repeating,, I always enjoy your reactions/reviews,, Always fair,, open-minded & the added details are also truly enjoyed.
@@happymethehappyone8300 I tried it, it didn't help....edit: though I will say that since taking the meds I sleep like a baby. I spit up on the pillow and piss on the sheets
The Zombies were soo cool. Colin Blunstone is the one with the distinctive voice. Magic bass, and electric piano too. Later he went solo and had the odd hit. - Say you don't mind. I don't believe in miracles. What becomes of the broken hearted. All worth listening to.
The song has a beautiful tone and sound for being nearly 60 years old. Old Recording equipment, no autotune. Bands often record vocals in one or two takes. Thanks for your illuminating and heartfelt discussion/thoughts on the music.
It's a common story, but I'm pretty sure that the other side of it is often enough a person who isn't being heard, says this isn't working and I have to go, leaves, and then is accused of leaving without warning or even a goodbye. One of my favorites from that period.
Colin Blunstone also sang with the Alan Parsons Project on a couple great songs old and wise with a Killer sax solo and dancing on a high wire I think you would enjoy
There were no music videos. These old '60's "videos" are just captured from TV performances using an old technology called "kinescope", before videotape existed. These were nearly always lip-synched. So you are hearing the studio version. This was a huge hit in its day. Some members went on to form Argent, who had big hit with "Hold Your Head Up" a few years later. The Zombies had a very unique sound, very quirky for the time.
Fabulous #1 hit for the Zombies, and equally fabulous covers by both Vanilla Fudge (1967 heavy psychedelic version)and Santana 1977 classic rock version). You would love them both, but for different reasons - they are completely different sounds.
ya gotta understand that clean-cut dudes like these guys did the heavy lifting that allow today's musicians to show up in dirty, unkempt clothes and grooming. Plenty of fine musicians got derailed in the 50s, 60s and 70s and freed things up for the zeitgeist.
Are you talking about the Rickenbacker 12-string electric guitar? Popularized by the Byrds, and repeated by Tom Petty. Many bands picked up on it for the jangly sound.
I think you're pretty much got it and I'm trying to think of something I can add be in my age and the way that I experience it which obviously has changed since I first heard it a long time ago up to now. But even just now listening to it, it's got that Basic Energy to it it I don't know it's hard to describe I mean it's obviously almost all rock and roll is about fucking but it's just translates more than you would think to the Modern Way even that people dance and stuff, it's just hard to picture at first until you feel what the rhythms are underneath and the overall just kind of attitude that goes with it. And then it makes perfect sense.
Hi! Thank you for this. I think you really get it. You are hearing the wonderful guitar sound from the 1960s. I was addicted to the particular guitars of the day and also the organ.
I LOVE this song!!!!!! Thanks for reacting to it 😘 I was only 9 years old (in 1965) when this song came out but I remember it like it was yesterday! I was fortunate to have siblings older than me so I got to hear SO Much Great music at an early age.
Love me some Zombies. Also check out Santana's blistering cover. The gents are quite cordial and ageless, and will appear on reaction channels upon occasion. I hope they find you.
You should check out their masterpiece album "Odessey and Oracle" from 1968. Unfortunately, the band had split up by the time it was released and it was received indifferently. But it since became a cult classic and the band's surviving members have re-grouped to perform it live between 2008 and 2019.
Always a pleasure spending some time with you and hearing your thoughts. You've got a nice, thoughtful vibe about you. As for the song, it's got a great vibe, too, lol, and I can remember thinking back in the day that it had/has a bit of a mysterious tone to it.
I love your reactions and the time you take to disect them and give info. I loved their song Time of the Season. Stay Healthy and keep them coming✌️. I was in second grade when this came out. Had an older sister, so remember her playing her 45's. 😄✌️
Great reaction to a great song! Loved the Zombies since the 60's. Just a personal take... I always interpreted the lyrics leading up to and including the "she's not there" line as meaning she has an alluring appearance but she's vacuous, empty. I didn't interpret that line to mean she wasn't physically there anymore.
You got to remember back in the day there were no official videos because there were no place to play them there was only TVs with only three stations this happened to be a TV show
1986 would bring a much needed musical "Breath Of Fresh Air" with a unique sound/approach,, World Party "All Come True",, "Ship Of Fools" & "Is It Like Today?"
PLEASE READ ALL:: While this MUST SEE/HEAR Classic is perfect for Halloween,, It's also great anytime,, The Guess Who - "Shakin' All Over ~ Skelton Dance video is a MUST!!..A TRULY GENIUS pairing of a classic song & a rare/early Walt Disney cartoon series known as "Silly Symphonies",, this episode titled "The Skelton Dance" (which the FULL original/cartoon/episode/sound) is also well worth watching..While watching this genius pairing,, it is IMPORTANT to keep reminding yourself that this cartoon/series/episode is almost 100 YEARS OLD,, while that makes it incredible,, it also makes it crystal clear how/why Walt Disney would become a legendary icon..As mentioned earlier,, this song is a classic (1965),, BUT,, it is also a cover,, the original was written & recorded by Johnny Kidd & The Pirates "Shakin' All Over" (1960) Which the song/hit brought them worldwide fame,, A bit of trivia:: Johnny Kidd (Fredrick Albert Heath) Unfortunately would die in a tragic head on collision at only 30 years old..Part of Johnny's legacy would be him being credited for the aesthetic of groups/bands dressing up/wearing costumes/creation of characters..Nick Simper (Bassist) was also in the car,, but only suffered some minor cuts & a broken arm..He would later become a member of the legendary & iconic rock group "Deep Purple"..I just thought that maybe you would enjoy and/or use some/all of this information to relay to your subscribers,, should you choose to react/review this classic..Sincerely,, Your loyal subscriber,, "Happy"
The Zombie "Tell Her No"...Nuff Said.

Well..., you've reacted to two of their classics. That really leaves "Tell Her No", which is also cool.
Santana did a fantastic cover of this song in ‘77
I've heard that version probably ever since it was released, but I first misread your comment thinking it said Sinatra. I thought, whoa, I gotta check out Frank's version.
@@montag4516 LMAO
You got that one right.
Other Zombie’s hits, “Time of the Season”, “Tell Her No”.
I've said it before,, but i feel it's more than worth repeating,, I always enjoy your reactions/reviews,, Always fair,, open-minded & the added details are also truly enjoyed.
Agreed! Bravo!
I concur
@@richardcranium5048 I'm pretty sure they have medication to treat that now. 🤪

A fantastic 60’s song and you can tell Santana loved it too in his cover version because he didn’t change much except some of the solos
"Time of The Season" is their best.
The song has a beautiful tone and sound for being nearly 60 years old. Old Recording equipment, no autotune. Bands often
record vocals in one or two takes. Thanks for your illuminating and heartfelt discussion/thoughts on the music.
I heard one of the band members was like 16 when this came out.
The Zombies are a vibe! I’ve loved them since this song came out. Colin, the lead singer was “groovy” back in the day and still is…still performing.

Rod Argent the keyboard player had a hit with his namesake band Argent. Give a listen to Hold Your Head Up.You will love it.

Another great hit by the zombies is Tell Her No.
Time Of The Season is more Zombies magic.
Carlos Santanas album moonflower he does a cover version of this song that one you need to listen too.
Fabulous #1 hit for the Zombies, and equally fabulous covers by both Vanilla Fudge (1967 heavy psychedelic version)and Santana 1977 classic rock version). You would love them both, but for different reasons - they are completely different sounds.
I still see them every time they're around as well as Colin when solo.

"She done me bad" is the basis of so, so many blues songs.
Their Odessey and Oracle album considered one of the great albums of the sixties. They had a unique sound.
The Zombies were a major influence on every young 60s musicians. BTW, I dated too many girls like in this song. It must be me.
Are you talking about the Rickenbacker 12-string electric guitar? Popularized by the Byrds, and repeated by Tom Petty. Many bands picked up on it for the jangly sound.
This song was ahead of its time 🔥❤️👏🏻 Rod Argent on keys, Colin Blunstone on lead vocals. They’re still going strong.
The Zombies are awesome! Excellent musicians and singers. They are still touring! Highly recommend seeing them.

Great song, and great reaction as usual!♥ This song is very familiar to me but I never knew it was The Zombies.

Yea man, I remember the 60s well, a ton of good music started the 60s into the 70s. Rock was king, keep rockin' CR, peace.
I love your reactions and the time you take to disect them and give info. I loved their song Time of the Season. Stay Healthy and keep them coming✌️. I was in second grade when this came out. Had an older sister, so remember her playing her 45's. 😄✌️

One of those good 60's songs that helped shape my musical tastes (at age...13?).
A classic tune!
The Zombies were one of the best bands of 60’s.
Great song, I’ve always liked this song and it will be played for many generations
You got to remember back in the day there were no official videos because there were no place to play them there was only TVs with only three stations this happened to be a TV show
1986 would bring a much needed musical "Breath Of Fresh Air" with a unique sound/approach,, World Party "All Come True",, "Ship Of Fools" & "Is It Like Today?"
oh yeah....this is the groovy 60s....LOVE IT!.....peace
Saw them a few years back in a small old theater in south Jersey. Colin still sounds amazing. Show was great
Was supposed to see them a couple of weeks ago in Philly, but the show was canceled. Great group. Tell Her No was a really good song by them.
The Zombies!!🎉
Gotta love Rod Argent's work on the Hohner Pianet. He went on to do some great stuff on the Hammond B3...
Thanks, Critical.. the Zombies had such a "groovy" sound... lol
Santana did a nice cover of this on their Moonflower album.
……great track right there ❤️❤️❤️ great reaction as well 🔥🎸🫶🏻 continue the breakdowns of all these classics.

I love this song. So many good songs.
Brian Lopez does a great cover of this song. 👍
I LOVED this song ❤❤❤❤ I was not always there either 😂
Great reaction and song 👏👏☮️
My favorite song!
Rod Argent on keys
The only way this could be any better would be if it was coming through on an old AM radio.
Santana does a great cover of this song.
Try the Santana cover of this song. One of the rare times a cover of an S tier song is also an S tier.
You need to listen to the Santana version!
My favorite version is the Santana cover.
Groovy!
Singing from his the breath of mouth and nose, instead of chest. Big diff.
😍😍😍
☮️💙💙💙🔥🔥😎
The GREAT BRITISH INVASION! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Please react Santanas version
U shud have been a teen in the 60's
